How Many Kilometers Should Transmission Fluid Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid is divided into manual transmission fluid and automatic transmission fluid. For manual transmission fluid, it is recommended to replace it every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers; for automatic transmission fluid, the manufacturer requires an active inspection every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers (whichever comes first). Based on professional testing, the replacement can also be determined by observing the color. The functions of transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Heat dissipation: The interaction between gears generates a significant amount of heat, which requires lubrication oil for dissipation. 2. Lubrication: It makes gear engagement smoother. 3. Cleaning: It keeps the shifting system clean and extends the lifespan of the transmission components.
